If Trump fails, we all lose
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
I made a comment on our daily radio program recently that Christians should be very thankful that Donald Trump was elected president of the United States and not Hillary Clinton. The Democratic Party of yesteryear, made of patriotic Americans who just had policy differences with the Republican Party, is gone forever. The Democrats have spent the past four decades or so evolving into a party that now works against almost everything our country was built upon. The Bible. The Constitution. The family. The free-enterprise system. I could give countless examples of this hostility but I don't have enough space here.
This is not to say the Republican Party has always defended these institutions. But generally speaking, it has. That is why the vast majority of Christians vote Republican. Before 1980, Christians voted for both Democrats and Republicans.
President Trump, while running in the GOP primary, reached out to the Christian community to try and better understand who we were and what we wanted to see in a presidential candidate. I know that for a fact. Initially I was skeptical of his sincerity. Some would say it was a political move, since he knew he could not win the GOP nomination if he did not have a significant percentage of the evangelical vote.
So perhaps it was a calculated move on Trump's part – but so what? Republicans and Democrats both pander to groups all the time. But today, Christians alone are not a large enough voting bloc to elect a presidential candidate by themselves. But Trump wanted to be our friend and he stood for a lot of the same things we stood for.
Yes, he was a flawed man who had a playboy reputation, and he had no real Christian testimony other than speaking fondly of his mother taking him to the Presbyterian Church when he was young. But still, he was not embarrassed to be seen with or stand with "the evangelicals," as he called us. (I joked with some of my friends during the campaign that Mr. Trump didn't know enough to understand that we conservative Christians are considered "unclean" by the elites. Serious presidential candidates are not supposed to be seen in public with us.) In hindsight, it was probably a blessing that Mr. Trump didn't get that and it was also a blessing that if he did – he didn't care. He was going with what he believed and he was going to listen to whoever wanted to join him.
One of the reasons President Trump has been taking unrelenting, incoming fire from the liberal elites – even before he was sworn in – is precisely because he is not ashamed of the Bible, the Constitution, the family and the free enterprise system.
Yes, I understand what I just said is open to mockery. It goes something like this: "So the president of the American Family Association supports a man who has been married three times and has lived a playboy lifestyle. What a joke."
I have to say, I did wrestle with these things. However, I did not believe him to be the same man he was in the past. I thought he was an "old school patriot" who saw what the progressives and the globalists were doing to our country and wanted to stop it. But in the end, it was Trump or Clinton who would take over the most powerful office in the free world. Did I want someone who wanted to be our friend ... or someone who considered us to be deplorable and who represented a political party bent on the destruction of our country (as we have known it) and the criminalization of Christianity? There was no third option.
I have been somewhat hesitant to state things in such a dramatic fashion. But I've been in this culture war every day since 1986. The political progressives in this country are secular humanists. They have taken over one of the two major political parties in America. They have open disdain and in some cases hatred for the God of the Bible, His morals, values and His people. This is becoming more apparent. The path they are going down will lead to the persecution of Christians. Even physical persecution.
Does President Trump always exhibit the fruits of the spirit? No. Are there Tweets he sends out from time to time that I wish he would not send? Yes. But you know what? The man is fighting these same people who want to destroy our country and who want to ruin our lives unless we bow the knee to Baal. And they are vicious and they are ruthless. And they, the God-haters, are after President Trump because in many respects – politically speaking – to them he represents us.
We need to pray for President Trump ... every day.

1.) Not all progressives are Secular Humanists.
2.) Not all liberals are progressives.
3.) Many liberals are Christians, just as the biblical Jesus was.
4.) How can Donald Trump possibly be a patriot when there is significant evidence that he was in collusion with the Russians and other foreign nationals? Did you just change your support of globalists?
5.)Donald Trump is an anathema to both the Bible and the US Constitution.
6.) Would you like me to get a ladder so you can climb down from the cross you have nailed yourself to?
Another bs article, but what else is new. Trump is far from a patriot, he has duped his base and it's so sad they can't see the forest through the trees. He is a conman, a liar, and a cheat.
How he can be called a patriot when he has screwed over his fellow Americans over the years by not paying them for work they did for him, he just claims bankruptcy time and time again.
How can he be called a patriot when his organization hires ILLEGALS.
How can he be called a patriot when NO US banks will loan him any money and he has to turn to a foreign bank, Deutsche Bank to be exact.
How religious of him to cheat on his wife with a porn star.
How religious of him to tell Marla Maples to get an abortion when she was pregnant with Tiffany.
How religious of him to say he can just grab women by the pussy
Trump is an American patriot. He is standing up for we the people and is beginning to save the working and middle class from the bi coastal globalist elitists in both parties. He cares about the people of this country and puts us and our America first!
That's some hilarious shit right there Xx.
Private Bone Spur is no patriot. Trump is one of those 'coastal globalist elitists' that you pretend he is saving us from. Trump couldn't care less about the people of this country unless we can make him a buck.
Ironic thing is, trump is one of those coastal global elites. He is the definition of one.
Trump is a silver spoon trust fund baby who has never worked a job that he earned by his abilities or sweat, and has made and lost millions by ripping of the people who are his most vocal supporters.
If he is such a patriot why did he get multiple deferments to keep from serving in the military?
The difference is that Trump, unlike the globalist establishments of both parties genuinely cares about working and middle class people like me.
There's no place like home...
There's no place like home...
So the fake tax cuts and endangering the environment is how you want to be cared for?
It was Obama's policies that created jobs and a strong economy, not Trump's.
The writing is on the wall. Trump is failing America and Americans.
And THIS is why there is a serious need for fact checkers.
This morning on my shuttle ride to work I heard someone complaining because he had his taxes prepared over the weekend and they had to pay in. He was very upset because he believed he was going to get a huge tax refund cuz that is what he believed was promised.
You mean like all the contractors that he stiffed and they lost the family business?
Trump is doing a great job! Up to 52% approval rating now, a great economy and he’s making an awesome speech right now in El Paso. The loons are being escorted out to USA 🇺🇸! and Build the wall chants. MAGA hats everywhere.
And of course yelling "Lock her up!"..
He's already getting fact checked all over the world and failing miserably.
You're still not getting a wall...
A lot of disrupters at tonight’s speech need to be locked 🔒 up.
Free speech a problem for you?
I'd be screaming too if he waltzed in to my city telling lies about the crime rate and the wall.
The city of el Paso debunked him and he still lied. They went so far as to almost unanimously decree that he was lying.
Government figures show he's lying. He's labled and fucked el Paso Tx.
Let him call Redding a shithole filled with migrants and recently released prisoners. See how your community feels about that.
Trump told the truth. People have free speech. It’s not free speech to disrupt the free speech rights of other citizens. It was great that they were drowned out by our USA! and build the wall! free speech as they were led off to jail. As to my city, we have been afflicted by homeless migrants and prisoners released from and by the coastal urban areas of this stupid state I live in.
No, he didn't and you know that.
Regardless of the reason, what would be your reaction if a president told lies about your community and tanked your home value?
el Paso crime rate actually jumped after the fence went in, it was decloning long before the fence went up.
He lied.
He HAS failed and took the country down with him. We are now a global joke. Please don't respond with links and but but but.....
He has not failed at all and made America great again. He restored Americans faith and pride in our country and made us the economic envy of the world. We love what he has done as president so far.
Did the evangelicals that support Trump forget that pride is one of the seven deadly sins?
He has done no such thing for a majority of Americans. There is a minority who do feel that he's the best thing since their beloved choreographed wrestling. He's the Rick Flair of their political ideology, he speaks in grandiose rhetoric, is over the top when speaking about his personal qualities and anyone doubting his verbal fantasy is cast as the wresting villain. Lyin Ted! Low Energy Jeb! Crazy Joe! Crazy Mika! Crooked Hillary! Liddle Bob Corker! All of them are his villain names to get his base riled up and they love it. It doesn't have to have a lick of truth to it, but they rally around his constant bloviating because he makes them feel smart. He appeals to their lack of intellect with short rhetorical propaganda fantasy that they just can't seem to get enough of. Anyone with an education past high school can see through his gold painted sham and see him for what would be a hilarious clown reality TV show host, which is of course what he was. But now those of us who have to watch this daily farce play out in the oval office can only shake our heads and wonder how that section of America that voted for this sick joke could hate America so much as to wish this disaster upon us. Did we really leave them too far behind that they wanted to take revenge on us? Do they hate the gains made for equality so much that they would risk total meltdown just to reshape America in their bigoted Gods image?
You may have lost faith and pride in the USA, but I never have. Even during the W years I was proud to be an American, funny how you lost your faith and pride in your country.
What has he done? And please be specific.

I am reality! Also, I believe we met on newsvine when I was CornHusker4Palin.
QED (see 4.1.5 above)
I've only referred to that dozens of times. We all know who you are no matter how many times you change monikers. As the saying goes, we'd know you by your "lights."
Which are brilliant and true.
I never lost my faith and pride in this country. I am a retired SFC (Army) and there is nothing that Cpt Bone Spurs can do to contribute to that.
You even sound like Trump now. Are you a very stable genius as well?
Wouldn't let me read unless I signed up for it & I am not going to do that. Sorry - your link is a no-go.
Well, I wish you and Putin and Kim all the best.
Well I am becoming an ever stronger supporter of him as time goes by and as his domestic opposition becomes ever more unhinged
Yep, I remember close to the same phrasing when it was Palin worshipping.
The opposition isn't unhinged, we're just watching the implosion unfold as Mueller gets closer.
Domestic or foreign he keeps getting his ass kicked. Whether he had anything to do with him or not, Putin now owns him. All Putin has to do is drop a bombshell lie out there and Trump is finished.
Xi owns him too. This Mr. Tariff man routine didn't scare the Chinese one bit. That lunch wasn't an "agreement". The Chinese told him exactly what they would do if he persisted. These "negotiations will continue to drag on past the deadline until he thinks it's forgotten.
Kim? Well....so much for the Nobel Peace Prize...lol.Remember we were finally "nuclear free"....more bullshit. He dropped his pants for "rocket man" and although to a lesser extent own him too.
Remember the EU picking up those soy beans? Yeah, neither do I.
And "domestically" Pelosi, a woman, beat the living shit out of him in public. TWICE.
The brave prediction of "The Pelosi Shutdown" and that this would be blamed on the Dems....didn't work out so well.
And still....you aren't getting the wall.
Only in that special universe occupied by you alone, KAG (etc., etc., etc.,)
Talk about delusion.
"If Trump Fails." ? ? Got to laugh at that.
Melania just updated her passports.
And didn't include his....His "passport" is in Mueller's office.
See how fast she slid out to West Palm?
She just couldn't resist saying "You got your ass kicked by a woman" and start laughing in his face.
Who is Baal, and what does it have to do with America?
Internet search shows Baal to be the god of the ancient Canaanites. Where do you get the idea that we have ancient Canaanites in America?
Is Tim Wildmon a nut?
An absolutely wonderful person and a great American. He works for a great American pro family Christian group.
He's a homophobic douchebag.
Faux Christian group if they seriously think Trump in any way, shape or form is Christian.
I know who he is , I asked if he is a nut.
No one wants you to bow down to Baal. Most people just want you to leave them and the country alone.
Or leave the country !
Or take your Baal and go home!
That defamation is no more than blatant SPLC hate propaganda.
Secular progressives are the new Baal.
Where are you going?
He openly supports discriminating against LGBT people. He is a bigot.
I suppose it's hard for someone who so thoroughly relies on others to think for them to believe that others think for themselves.
Any thinking person who reviews Tim Wildmon's own writing would come to the same conclusion that I do.
Wow KAG, who knew that you'd be a convert and state that secular progressives are the new 'Life Givers'.
Secular progressives are all Gods? I'd have to say that that's a rather odd concept....
Actually it is the LGBTQ crowd that discriminated against and attacks Bible believing Christians
No, you've got that backwards, it's the faux bible christians that want to legally discriminate against LGBT people.
Forcing a business to serve its customers equally, as per the Equal Accommodation requirement, is not discrimination because a business is not religious, even if they are selling bibles.
If this action is a Christian belief, then please highlight in the 4 gospels where Jesus supported bigotry?
that is a terrible thing according to many of the religious and conservative minded on this site and in this nation - especially if they are LGBT (or in some other way different)
I've never asked if the owners liked me or what their religious beliefs were before I placed my order or paid for my purchases. Emily Post never said that I was supposed to.
Maybe I should get a Happy Human broach so people know that they're dealing with a godless atheist when they see me.
Thank you for thinking of me as a god but I am sadly mortal.
Trump already got that ball rolling by getting TG's (Present and future) banned from military service.
Being mentally ill has always been a reason to be excluded by the military.
Who is mentally ill?
No they are not mentally ill. Not everyone fits in a nice neat box tied with a ribbon.
What else do you call people living in a fantasy and not what reality says they are.
It is reality what they are living. Someone dear to me is going through it, I've known this person since they were born. To hear from this person how much they hate what they look like and what they are. This person is changing that and I back this person 100%. This person has a college education, has a great job, comes from a wonderful family.
It does not matter if your "dear one" plays dress-up or how many body parts they add, remove, or modify they will still be living a lie and are only fooling them self and others were reality says they are what they were born not what Dr. Frankenstein makes them.
Of course it matters. This person changing who they are affects your life how? It's no ones business why a person changes, and you and the rest of the world will just have to deal with it.
A person's DNA does not determine their psychological gender identity. There are some people whose gender identity is incongruent with their physical bodies gender and their existence seems to be a problem for you because of your inability to understand basic concepts of human sexuality.
They put man in the place of God making Them false gods in the real Gods place just like the canaanites did with Baal.
I very clearly remember both my high school and college biology classes. The classes that _aid XX=female and XY= male . Those classes also went on to describe the differences in the anatomy between male and female.
Like Jesus?
.
Hermaphroditism is Gaia's way of explaining to some of her slower children that whatever external plumbing one might have at birth, ( male, female, Both ), is NOT always the determining factor on how a person's personal gender identity evolves as they mature.
Just because some humans don't physical present at birth that they will be needing to chose which sexuality they fell is their proper roll in society, (like Hermaphrodites do), dosn't mean that they aren't faced with the same decisions as they mature.
Key word is "abnormality"! There is actually something physically wrong with them. Just feeling like you should be what you are not is not a genetic or physical abnormality. It is a mental disorder.
The physical gender of their body is incongruent with the gender of their brain/psychological gender identity. They are not mentally ill.
just like being left handed ... or having green eyes ... it's abnormal. . right ?
Maybe you think so but having green eyes or being left handed is not an abnormalities they are normal variations. Having both male and female parts is no normal for humans
Yes, it is normal for a small percentage of humans.
I never saw any mental instability from the TG's who served with me. It was the straights in many cases that were a french fry short of a happy meal.
it's a normal variation just like ( as pointed out by another poster ) just like green eyes, being left handed or being homosexual ... in fact.. having both female and male parts is as normal as having green eyes or having red hair
i guess you think that red hair and green eyes aren't normal for humans either ( it's abnormal ! so according to your earlier post - there must be something physically wrong with those people who have red hair and/or green eyes, right ? ), huh ?
Conservatives.
having both female and male parts
You might want to research the difference between being transgender or a morphidite.
Right, and back then they thought electrons, protons and nuclei were the smallest particles. They've learned a lot more about genes since then, too.
i know the difference (and it's "morphodite"), the poster's comment refers to transgender as having "both female and male parts" - it's a common tactic to confuse biological sex with gender identity and this is only another way to do it. I see nothing wrong with transgender individuals and have a few a friends.

" Left-handers are the odd ones out. Sure, lefties make up about 10 percent of the population"
"nearly 25.6 million Americans ( 11% ) acknowledge at least some same-sex sexual attraction"
This isn't about hermaphrodites, it's about people born with an opposing gender identity to genitalia.
It's always fun to watch someone who has no scientific knowledge whatsoever deliver pronouncements about what's "normal" in any of the sciences. No matter which scientific field is being discussed we can always depend on these "folks" to inject some high grade ignorance into the discussion.
That'd probably cause a brain explosion if attempted but not to worry he'd never actually try to learn something.
Was not always thought so by many cultures. Being left-handed was thought to be a mark of the devil and great, often brutal, efforts were made to force left-handed children to use their right hands. By the way, the latin word for "left" is sinister. I'd think even you would get a clue about something from that. So just as people eventually learned the left-handedness was a variation of normal so to eventually it will be accepted (and science will show why it should be) that there are multiple variations of human sexual normalcy including homosexuality, transexuality, bisexuality, etc. etc. Maybe you could start with this as a primer:
Homosexual behavior in animals
[and don't try to dismiss it as "just" a Wikipedia article; note considerable footnoting from the scientific literature supporting it]
Heh!
He's a total nut. An anti-vaxxer, anti-Constitutionalist (wants to shove Christian teaching into public schools and force his beliefs into our laws), is bigoted, tells his followers who to vote for since they're too stupid to make their own decisions ... you name it.
And it's hilarious, he also supports boycotting of companies despite all the screeching from a certain seeder when those on the left do it. He supports a boycott of Target because they're not bigots.
It must be exhausting to have such a persecution complex. And the mental gymnastics required to be as delusional as the author is must be even more exhausting.
He's just whining because we won't let him institute Christian Sharia law. These people persecute others all the time, and then whine about how they're the ones being persecuted. This idiot should move to the Middle East and see what real religious persecution is like.
Please limit comments to what the author said in his article and not about the seed author. Thanks.
... fucking relentless thumper scum bullshit
Every bit of what you quoted is 100% right on and correct.
22 hours ago you commented on the seed's author. Why the double standard Xx?
He probably thinks that those same ideas do not apply to him. Baal told him so.
you're not even implied. She is talking about the author.
The author of the article you seeded is not protected under the CoC.
Our country was not founded on the Bible.
And trmp is no patriot. Far from it. He only cares about himself he doesn't care about you unless you can make him money
No one ever said it was founded upon the Bible. As for Trump, he is a rare person among the ultra rich class that really does care about normal average working people like us.
Stop drinking the Koolaid!!
No, he is not. He has not done one thing that shows he cares about ANYTHING except himself and a few close family members. Never. So you'd have to list something that shows he cares. Be specific. And remember, actions speak louder than words, and his words are usually lies anyway.
You are supposed to tell the truth.
.
Donald Trump only cares about money. Making yours to be his. He made his money by ripping people off who are his most vocal supporters.
Is that why he stiffed so many in the construction industry...he's looking out for himself...
Just so much
Thanks for the Jonestown related death wish. I really appreciate it. Such kind and tolerant words.
I suggest you look up what the kool aid reference MEANS Xx. Hint, it's NOT a death wish.
He told you to stop drinking the Kool-Aid. He didn't tell you to drink more of it.
Your Xtian persecution complex is obvious to everyone.
Review
"[Scaramucci] is always didactic but never bombastic, and he employs his self-deprecating sense of humor with remarkable effectiveness, especially in his new book,Trump, the Blue-Collar President. . . . It's as if you're sitting across from Scaramucci and he's talking to you. . . . The book gives an insightful look into [Trump's] popularity and success, because Scaramucci has a real understanding of how Trump thinks."―Newsmax
"There actually is more to [Scaramucci]-much more-than his brief tenure at the White House. His journey to millionaire hedge fund manager from humble roots as the son of a blue-collar sand hog from Long Island does make compelling reading."― New York Journal of Books
"The Mooch takes us on a great roller-coaster ride-from a working-class suburb, to sparkling Manhattan skyscrapers, to the deepest swamps of our nation's capital. Along the way, we watch an America lost but reenergized under Donald Trump. Insightful, inspiring, and hilarious. A must read.

Your far-right review blurbs are noted. You forgot David Duke, Sarah Palin, Putin, and Strom Thurmond.
I wonder if Robert Mueller agrees with those reviews?
I didn’t forget anyone. As to what mueller thinks or agrees with, no one cares.
And, Dulay, thanks for the support here, at least you all know what I meant in my post.
XX, 57% of Americans and, Congress disagree with this statement.
??????
TRUMP! Trump! Trump! USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 Build the wall!
People who want to institute Christian Sharia Law say the darndest things, don't they?
It would seem from my perspective that the 8th Commandment doesn't apply to them.
Does your bible not contain these passages?
.
Priceless!!
I can see us losing and trump walking away a winner.
I see America as the great winner in the world due to the Trump administration and policies.
Well, you almost had this right. "I can see us losing and, trump walking away a wiener."
Trump (The Emperor) wears no clothes. With nearly every tax return filed by someone in the middle class this year, Trump's (and the GOP) approval numbers will continue to fall. Less than 6% of profits corporations got were spent on employees last year and most of these were 401K donation and one time bonuses. Most of those $1000.00 401K donations have lost a over $200.00 of worth. Walmart and AT&T, that conservatives were praising last year's bonus giving, fired thousands of workers at the same time it was giving out those bonuses. It's projected to be even less spending this year even as those same corporations make the same profit gains. Tariffs and the continued low spending power of the middle class will begin to slow the economy and it will be Trump's fault.
There will be no wall, no denuclearization of the North Korea, no meaningful wage increases, no lower cost health care, no stop to the "wars" in the Middle East. If the GOP can't stop him from his little "emergency" he will try to steal military spending from the Pentagon and expand the powers of the Presidency that I'm sure conservatives will continue to support when a Dem gets elected.
Well with the rising again of our middle class as described in USA Today today, Trump will not fail.
You should have read the entire paragraph,
...The vibrant economy, juiced further by the Trump-led tax cuts and federal spending increases, has lifted employment and wages for workers at all levels, including the middle class."
Shocking news to anyone who gets their news from the mainstream press. But the story goes on to note that:
Check out IBD's Stock of the Day ... every day!
To be sure, USA Today only mentions these gains so it can then paint a dark picture for the middle class on the horizon. Nevertheless, the fact that the paper was willing to admit to a middle-class revival under Trump is in itself newsworthy.
This isn't a surprise to regular readers of these pages. We thoroughly documented the middle-class stagnation during the Obama years, as his policies choked off what should have been a powerful economic recovery.
Shouldn't Be A Surprise
For the past two years, we've been tracking the sudden and unexpected rebound that's occurred once Trump started to undo and reverse those Obama-era anti-growth policies.
Last week, in fact, we pointed out that our own polling shows a sharp increase in the public's estimation of their own quality of life under Trump.
It's a safe bet that had a Democrat been in the White House over the past two years things would be different. Front pages would cheer the good news. Broadcasters would lead with it each night.
Then again, there wouldn't be any middle-class revival if a Democrat had been in the White House over the past two years....https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/middle-class-revival-trump/
What a day. Snow every where. No electricity.
